Biography

MYSTERY

The Academy of Beaux-art in Bruges is where I started my artistic schooling, but my true calling found its debut in Paris where I have had the chance to be a student of Noorzadé Brener.
She herself studied with Ossip Zadkine who had his atelier in Montparnasse, Paris .

It is with Noorzadé that I learned to express that what human beings have most, mystery.
Noorzadé taught her students to learn only through observation and comparaison. The sculpture is a body , or lesson of live, and just needs to transcript, and translate the truth of its form.
The heart is the most essentiel part.
Through my work I try to bring life to art, and art to live.

A secret cry, soul and spirit of mankind, an emotion a light a souvenir.
The human being wants to keep back feelings strength and power.
To go beyond réflection reinvent a new world for space to becomes tactile and visuel.
To discover the key to truth one must observe.

To create a silent work of art, to make sure it contains a mystery, a secret enigma and therefore find the key to discover the truth.

To create through our research and questions, simply… humanity.

Our heart beats

To make sure one can nearly feel and live the “emotion” , then one of the main functions of art is to make this possible .
So sculptures at this stage have a certain d’avantage ; they are 3 dimensional .

But is it in the way the artist kneads the raw material that allows us to find that one thing that catches our eye and make our soul vibrate ?
Or is it in the way the artist succeeds in creating an empty space around this work of art …

In evidence , the combination of those two phenomena gives birth that allows one to feel and become emotional while being in front of a sculpture .
The raw material nourished by the hands of the artist and the emptiness where the infinity of the world vibrates .

Then and only then , are we struck by the echo of the artist’s work , and in a split of a second do we experience the fragileness of the sensation of fulfillment .

Nancy ’s sculptures take hold of this fragileness.
Her characters resemble us.
They carry our anguish and our urge, our hopes and our dreams.
They are at the same time ourselves, and the stranger that lives within us.
Created by our hesitations and doubts, they allow momentum, with sometimes, secretly, make our heart beats.

This is her quest.
While freeing from the movement all its spontaneity, Nancy reveals its purity and strength.
She offers us the wonderful fragments of life.
Above all, while trying to give them eternity, she invites us to become closer to the mystery of simply “ being “
So much is it true that only ART can pretend to it.
Edouard Dor
